I’m taking a different approach to Destiny with this offering and I’m not sure how it might be received so let’s see. This story uses characters from the clan I play with, Part two is almost done, if you like this part I will post it here for you. Angelica had just returned from […]
The Exo, Part Two
Tesni cringed as she saw the high caliber sniper round tear through Natela’s side. The Hunter, almost twenty years her junior, staggered and fell, but to Tesni’s surprise she threw herself into the fall and managed to roll behind one of the First Light complex’s smaller gold-glassed geodesic domes. For the next few seconds the […]
The Exo, Part One
Memory was a funny thing Abner 4c6173746e616d65 had long since concluded. The bytes that had once stored his last name, for instance, were corrupted beyond repair. Trying to access them resulted in little more than a string of gibberish no one could decipher. Gone too, was his memory of the Golden Age he was originally […]
The Legends, Part Two
“The Fallen have set up significant anti-air defenses within Arkhangelsk,” Tesni Jarmila’s Ghost briefed her enroute. “We lost one Jumpship already, though its pilot survived, and another two Guardians are currently pinned somewhere within the city ruins. Whatever Nordavia was doing there it clearly has the Fallen interested,” “Any more reinforcements coming or is it […]
The Legends, Part One
Tesni Jarmila blinked. The scene before her: an island shore, crashing waves, and washed up bits of wreckage large and small… It all made some sort of sense… didn’t it? The tall, blue-skinned woman took in and released a series of shaky breaths as she looked a little to her left, then a little to […]
Little Lights in the Darkness, Part Two
Reason. Natela tensed as the gun was drawn from its holster and then pointed directly at her. She’d stared down the barrel of a gun one or twice before, but back then it had always been with the assumption that its wielder would not fire unless she did something stupid. Now, that assumption was reversed. […]
Little Lights in the Darkness, Part One
Found. In the dark, nighttime shadows of The City, close to the outer wall, far from the skyscrapers and lights centered beneath The Traveler, something hastened across the dimly lit streets. And then another something. Then a third and fourth and fifth and sixth and finally, a smaller seventh. The shadowy figures, a group of […]
No Longer Afraid
(Note: While this story is largely self contained, some additional background on the characters and motivations contained within can be found here and here.) Jenn Shu was lost and loving it… Here she was, once again, dancing in the dark, somewhere amongst a mass of swaying, gyrating bodies. She was adrift in a crowd of […]
Out of Darkness, Unto Destiny
This sliver of fan fiction merits a bit of explanation. I wrote it as a kind of transition piece for my clan, Tied the Leader. The TTL Gunslingers were founded on and modeled a bit after Stephen King’s The Dark Tower series. At the time we were a Halo-exclusive clan, so the moniker was appropriate […]
Introversion in the Key of D Minor, Chapter 4
The dropship started again, the engines humming quietly, the whole metal frame shifting upwards. Dust scattered in great tan clouds, dispersed by the current of air coming through the ship’s propellers. The Guardians could make out the grey silhouette of the dropship through the cloak of sand, rising higher and higher. “Good luck, Bravo-Nine,” Angela […]
